Library

The Library comprises of two rooms, in one of our classroom blocks, thus giving separate provision for fiction and non-fiction.

The Library is open to all pupils and staff and can be used as a reading area or classroom where required. There are tables, chairs and comfortable seating so that if required the children can sit and share books or read alone.

From year 2, classes are timetabled each week in the library. These lessons give the children, not only the opportunity to thoroughly peruse the selection of books offered, but also teaches them how a library works; the systems, scanner and software.

The older children may take responsibility for some of the routine running and tidiness of the library as well as an input into the choices for new stock purchases. This all enables our library to be continually updated, easily accessible and attractive to our children.
